<em>The correct option is</em> D.   The initial momentum of the blue and green train combined during the collision is 200 kgm/s.

<h3>Initial momentum of the blue and green train</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

Pi = m1v1 + m2v2

where;

  • m1 is mass of blue train
  • m2 is mass of green train
  • v1 is velocity of blue train
  • v2 is velocity green train
  • Pi is the initial momentum of the two trains

Pi = (50 x 4) + 30(0)

Pi = 200 kgm/s

Thus, the initial momentum of the blue and green train combined is 200 kgm/s.

TiliK225 [7]

The force of the tripped catch exerted on the 2.5 Kg ball moving at 8.5 m/s to the Left is 160 N

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 8.5 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 7.5 m/s
  • Time (t) = 5 ms = 0.25 s
  • Mass (m) = 2.5 Kg
  • Force (F) = ?

<h3>How to determine the force</h3>

The force exerted on the ball can be obtained as follow:

F = m(v + u) / t

F = [2.5(7.5 + 8.5)]/ 0.25

F = 40 / 0.25

F = 160 N

Thus, the force exerted on the ball is 160 N

two forces equal in magnitude and opposite in direction act at the same point on an object. is it possible for there to be a net
elena55 [62]

If the forces are equal, at a distance equidistant it is not possible to act a pair on the body since both torques cancel each other. Being of the same magnitude and in the opposite direction, the sum of the torques will be zero.
